JOHN EDWARDS WIFE BRANDS HIM
WITH A SMOOTHING IRON.
Etories OF Domestic lnfelicity that Cam
not Fail to Have an Effect Upon the
Love-Lorn Youth Contemplating Mat
rimony-An Unfortunate Girl.

Officer Wolfe yesterday afternoon ar
rested John ID. Edwards, aged hfty-six
years, Of No. 9St Manassas street, on the
charge Of wiic-beating, Edwards is q
stcam.boat caulker, and his wife claims
that he spends his earnings for liquor, u
when under its influence, beats and abuses
her outmgcously. She also claims that
the support of their eight children Is en-
tirely dependent upon her labor. On the
other hand, Edwards asserts that the pres
ent wife is his second, the first having
died with the fever in 1878. He has u
laughter, by the first wife, now about nine
years old. This child seems 20 be the OBJ
iect Of contention. Edwards claims that
the step-mothor i~ll.trcats the child most
numerically, and has struck her 30 iro-
qucntly and such hard blows over the
head, with n llrc-pokcr and other heavy
instruments, that the child's mind is mate
really affected. lie has begged his wife not
80 mistrcat the innocent girl, but nearly
evcry day when he returns from work the
ffail little creature has another story and
signs of fresh cruelty TO tell and exhibit To
him. When he returned yesterday after
noon he found that the child had been
most brutally treated by her step-mother.
lie then told his wife that she had 10 stop
Il once for all, and aquarrcl cnsued, during
which the wife, who was at the time iron
ing clothes, slapped a hot smoothing iron
10 his left ear, burning and cutting IL
severely. lie took the iron from her, but
did not bit her. She sent two Of her chill
drcn for the policeman, and insisting that
she had been whipped by her husband.
The officer OF course arrested and locked
him up.
According 20 Edwards story, he is a
hen-pcckcd husband and the children OF
his flint wife have n regular yimgo for a
step-moiher. Edwards insists that lac pro-
yidcs well for his family; that he never
mistrcated his wife, and, while taking an
occasional drink, he never gets drunk.
Edwards works for G. II. Bryan 4 Co,
Whenever there is anything In his line 10
be done. At one time he was n fish and
game dealer, doing a thriving business,
and had among his customers some Of the
best people in the city. Reverse came,
however, and he lost some $1,000, rs he
claims. While rcciting his story OF abuse
from his wife, he cried like q baby, stating
that he would be willing to leave her and
never return.

BUTLER oNINTERsTATE LAW.

BUTLER ONINTERSTATE LAW.
The Louisiana agrlOuiturlsts are de-
Cidedly in favor OF testing the merits of
the interstate commerce law, before con-
Tossing that it Is failure. The Agricul-
tural association of that state has form
ally presented its petition TO the COM
mission asking for the enforcement of
its provisions. Their petition contains
some very substantial reasons for the
action taken and cannot be lightly dis
missed. Among the reasons thus pre-
sented are, the need of n fair and impair
tial treatment OF all persons and locali-
ties. This is protest against that dis
elimination formerly made by the rail-
ways in favor OF certain locations, and
to which the LIGHT has previously made
editorial reference. The Agricultural
association also urges that, in case any
loss is sustained by any railway in COM
plying with the long and short haul
clauses Of the law, the increase should be
no more than is necessary to cover the
loss thus sustained. The whole ground
was most admirably covered by General
Butler, OF Massachusetts, who has quite
recently given his opinions at length on
this whole matter of long and short haul
as treated in the interstate bill. The
following synopsis Of what Mr.. Butler
said may afford some new ground OF
opinion to those who have been con-
demnIng the bill, book and candle,
ever since it's publication. Gen. Butler
says
believe the law right in principle.
| cannot see how a law which requires
equal service for equal compensation
can work ultimate Injustice. OF course,
the railroads are doing all in their power
to make the measure unpopular, but the
commission can stop that. The
railroads have unanimously complied
with the long and short haul provisions
By raising long haul charges TO the max
inum level. Now, think It is within
the power of the commission to compel
the railroads to establish a much lower
level Of charges, rs WAS intended by
the supporters of the bill, re-
duCing tue short haul rates great
zeal ana by RAISING the long maui rates
in much the same proportion. The eff
feet Of the law in cutting off passes, has
already been good. According to the
roads own showing, this will increase
the passenger receipts about ten per
cent. Now the public has been COM
PEELED heretofore TO pay for the dead
heads, and why should the public not
gel the benefit of the relief?
or course. the enforcement of the new
law will at first cause friction, and per-
haps apparent injustice, but a level
headed, determined board can compel
the railroads to live up to the spirit as
well as the letter OF the law, and can in
time make it operate for the public
good. don't believe that the question
will become political one. 1t has not
been thus far.
There is enough food for reflection in
this presentation of the subject to call
for little hedging" as the Washing
ton Critic puts it, on the part of those
who have been loudly prOclaiming the
measure a failure, before it has been
fairly submitted to a single practical
test.

ONE LIVED, The OTHER DIED.

A woman formerly our slave is now our
cook. About Is months ago she became sickly
and had a cough and was confined TO bed, and
it was thought that she had consumption The
treatment by physicians failed to give relief.
In December, 1881, a node or knot the size of a
goose egg formed just above the pit of the
stomach, which, when lanced, discharged mat
ter for or months. One OF these also
formed under her arm. and three on he back
which discharged matter for a considerable
tine. For six months of this time she was
confined to the house, and most of the time in
bed. The stomach often refused food, by re-
jscting what she had eaten. She used great
desl of medicine, but failed to be cured. /
bought one bottle of your 3. b. B. made in
Atlanta, Ca and gave it 10 her, aud she COM
menced to improve. / then bought and gave
her three bottles more, and she continued to
improve, and in two months time her cough
had ceased, her constitution strengthened,
appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased, nodes or knots disappeared, and she
went to work apparently healthy and fattened
up greatly.
This woman had a married sister of near the
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She had
node or knot on pit of stomach back, etc She
did not take any ID. Il. Ii and the node in
her stomach ate through the cavity. She con-
tinued on the decline and wasted away, and

plan has been fully matured yet as TO
Mrs. 'POtter's appearance in the United
States, but it is understOOd that one
American manager has made her an Of
fer for brief tour in this country, on
terms which she has not yet accepted.
She is only an amateur vet" he eX-
claimed with considerable warmth, "but
she is with good people and Is making
rapid progress" Mr.. Potter believes
the stage is not Objectionable for ladies'
of character. provided the as Ociations
are kept up TO the standard OF purity
maintained in homes. No arrangements
have yet been made for The return Of
Mrs. Potter, but 1t is thought that she
will sail for New York in August, in
time to appear in Washington after or
ganizing a company on this side of the
water. She desires to make her Amer

the highest social recognition. She will
only be satisfied to play before the presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, members Of
